Impossibility of superluminal travel in Lorentz violating theories

Antonin Coutant, Stefano Finazzi, Stefano Liberati +1

Warp drives are space-times allowing for superluminal travel. However, they are quantum mechanically unstable because they produce a Hawking-like radiation which is blue shifted at…

Quantum vacuum radiation in optical glass

Stefano Liberati, Angus Prain, Matt Visser

A recent experimental claim of the detection of analogue Hawking radiation in an optical system [PRL 105 (2010) 203901] has led to some controversy [PRL 107 (2011) 149401, 149402].…

Nonlinear Decay of r modes in Rapidly Rotating Neutron Stars

Wolfgang Kastaun

We investigate the dynamics of r modes at amplitudes in the nonlinear regime for rapidly but uniformly rotating neutron stars with a polytropic equation of state. For this, we perf…

Black holes in scalar-tensor gravity

Thomas P. Sotiriou, Valerio Faraoni

Hawking has proven that black holes which are stationary as the endpoint of gravitational collapse in Brans--Dicke theory (without a potential) are no different than in general rel…

Large N Quantum Gravity

A. Codello

We obtain the effective action of four dimensional quantum gravity, induced by N massless matter fields, by integrating the RG flow of the relative effective average action. By con…

Extended LCDM: generalized non-minimal coupling for dark matter fluids

Dario Bettoni, Stefano Liberati, Lorenzo Sindoni

In this paper we discuss a class of models that address the issue of explaining the gravitational dynamics at the galactic scale starting from a geometric point of view. Instead of…
